@Rajyalakshmi 

you cannot have approvals on Record producer.

You can have a flow triggered when Demand is inserted and then Grab the variable value and then use "Ask for Approval" flow action

It's similar to how Service Catalog flow works.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Catalog Items and Record Producers have two different approaches to flow

Catalog Item:  "I want to run a flow"
Record Producer:  "I want to create a record.  Any flow that results from that is due to that record creation"
